Generate New Revenue with External Equipment Rentals

Are You Sitting on Untapped Revenue? Why External Rentals Are the Next Step for RentalResult Users

If you’ve already adopted RentalResult and are managing a large fleet, there’s a strong chance you’ve optimized your internal operations, but are you getting the most out of your equipment?

Many of our clients are discovering that their next big opportunity lies outside their own job sites. External Rentals unlock a new revenue stream by allowing you to rent idle or underused equipment to subcontractors, partners, or even other construction companies, all while staying within the same platform and ecosystem you’re already using.

You Already Have the Tools — Now It’s Time to Use Them Differently

If you’re actively using RentalResult across your operations, you’ve already put in the heavy lifting:

• Your fleet is tracked.

• Your rates are managed.

• Your maintenance is logged.

• Your contract workflows are streamlined.

This means you’re ready to scale, and external rentals are the natural next step to increasing utilization and revenue without additional capital investment.

The Missed Opportunity: Equipment That’s Just Sitting

Every idle asset in your yard is an opportunity waiting to be activated. On average, construction companies see up to 30% of their fleet idle at any given time. By renting out that equipment for just a few days each month, you could be generating significant recurring revenue, without changing your operations.

Curious how much you could be earning?

Use our External Rental Revenue Calculator to see your potential.

You’ll need four things:

1. Percent of fleet idle (you can find this in Reporter > Utilization Reports — select a monthly or quarterly view).

2. Average daily rental rate (check Reporter > Rate History or Contract Data).

3. Number of days per month you’d expect to rent externally.

4. Total number of assets in your fleet (Reporter > Asset Register Summary).

What External Rentals Look Like in Action

RentalResult makes it easy to rent to third-party contractors or external customers without disrupting your internal workflows. You can:

• Create external contracts alongside internal ones

• Track usage, damage, and photos through the mobile app

• Centralize billing, compliance, and delivery logistics

• Customize approval flows and customer access levels

• Pull data into your ERP like any other contract

Companies like BAM Site Solutions, Messer Construction, and McGough Construction are already generating recurring revenue through RentalResult’s External Rentals, reducing vendor spend, optimizing asset usage, and expanding their business model with zero added overhead.
